Seems the used market for the older integrateds has dried up a bit. Anyone with a line on an A3-A300-A3.2 or 3.5,A5, A308, give me a shout. I saw TMR has a 3.2, but I think his price is a tad high. A5's were going for 900 not long ago.

    That 3.2 in the bay area is more inline, but he won't ship, cash and carry.

    Yeah, I have noticed the skyrocketing prices on used gear, even vintage stuff that used to be 50 bucks and really not very good, they are asking 3-400 for. Bless there souls if they get it, but it won't be from me.

    Yeah, that add is garbage, but kinda figured that anyway. Yes Brock, I am. Unfortunately past sales don't reflect the current times. Still, people are getting nuts with what they want. 800 for an old A220? Come on.
    I guy in Michigan has a 3.2 cr pre for 4 bones, I may just snag that and match it with a B&k AMP. Kinda had my heart set on an integrated though so I might stick it out a tad longer.

    Hey @tonyb are you doing a saved eBay search as well? That’s how I got my A308 for $650 plus shipping and tax, which I thought was a solid deal. I know lots of folks here poopoo on eBay, but that business is set up to protect the buyer: if anything’s wrong, document it, take pics, you will get your money back including shipping and tax. Now seller’s are a different story. eBay owns ur arse lol…

    Ebay and Paypal will also tax the seller at the end of the year but that's another story!

    No Ebay for me, lost money with them years ago and never again. Same with paypal, everything is fine until issues arise and they abandon you like a hot potato.

    No thanks, cash and carry, or a Visa card maybe a check, only ways I do business these days.

    He isn't kidding on that one. I should have it next week. If it doesn't knock my sack off vs the T+A, I could deliver it :)
